I wanted a small ebike with ultra value, I ended up getting the Fiido D4S (20" wheels, folding, 45 pounds, has gears, 36v 10.4Ah, 250w). Price is $800 but I got it on sale for $720. I love the gears, but it came poorly adjusted (chain fell off first ride) so I had to adjust it myself (probably not 100% right, but the Park Tool video got me through it).
I have rode almost 100 miles, though my longest trip thus far was ~20 miles (round trip).
Other caveats:
I purchased a bike bell for $12 from the local bike shop. I was hoping for a cheaper (or even free) mirror since I mostly use the trail, but no luck so far (though I'm a shut-in so I don't know anybody really). Same with a storage option.
